Free Web NovelChapter 1540: Chapter 1523: Severing the Past, Tempering the Self
"Phew!"
"Did I finally succeed?"
In the Emperor World, on the vast continent, Xiao Ye was drenched in sweat, his face pale, all of his aura vanished, leaving him as an ordinary person.
The power that could once shift mountains and overturn seas had completely disappeared, as had the Four Emperor Skills, Domineering Body, True Martial Physique, and so on.
An unprecedented sense of weakness spread through his body, as if recovering from a severe illness, with fatigue and soreness flooding him. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓
His previous Tao and Law were forcibly stripped away and sealed within his body.
Whether as the youth leader of the True Spirit Continent in this lifetime or a super genius entering the Demon God Domain, none of these mattered to him. It was as if he had turned into a spectator.
This is self-severance!
With great determination and courage, severing the past to forge a new future!
This approach is extremely risky; if brilliance cannot be achieved amidst the ordinary, it’s possible that the past will be completely severed, leaving cultivation to dissipate like water.
Yet Xiao Ye did so without hesitation.
According to the Iron Blood Emperor, if martial arts flaws were not remedied, with the unique nature of cultivating the Four Emperor Skills, not only would there be no hope of reaching the Half-step Emperor Realm but even re-entering the Demon God Domain would not enhance his power.
Thus, Xiao Ye felt no sense of loss; instead, he was calm, as if returning to the days in the Xiao Family Village when he first stepped onto the martial arts path.
Towards martial arts, he was filled with anticipation and reverence.
"This young man is indeed extraordinary; to be able to seal his Tao and Law with his physical body, none of us four could have done that in our youth. Jue Dai, your foresight is indeed sharp."
"Well then, let us depart. Whether brilliance can be achieved amidst the ordinary now depends on Xiao Ye. We have more pressing duties."
In mid-air, the imposing figure of the Unrivaled Emperor spoke with admiration in his tone.
Three of the Great Emperors nodded, and with their Emperor’s Power permeating, they all vanished from the spot.
"Little Junior Brother, he’s truly defying the heavens." Eight Half-step Emperors exchanged glances, seeing the astonishment in one another’s eyes, and the next moment, they followed the Human Clan Four Emperors away.
At this moment, Xiao Ye was immersed in his own enlightenment.
"Sealed my Tao and Law, yet the Time Tower can still sense that the Law and Profoundness still exist!"
After resting for a while, Xiao Ye raised his palm, and suddenly the aura of the Slaughter Principle and Wind Profoundness surged into the sky, weaving into numerous lotus flowers of Law and Profoundness.
The method of sealing his Tao and Law was what he comprehended over nearly a year’s time. frёewebηovel.cѳm
He cut off the past, leaving only the Slaughter Principle and Wind Profoundness, which are currently his greatest reliance.
Previously, he advanced along relying heavily on the Four Emperor opportunities, which actually reduced his personal honing.
This time, he severed the past to walk the martial arts path anew and rectify the imperfections of previous martial arts.
"Besides the Slaughter Principle and Wind Profoundness, I possess everything from Postnatal Cultivation Method to Emperor Martial Technique. I will use these to reach the peak of martial arts again and reclaim glory."
"By that time, when I unlock the sealed Tao and Law, I can surely forge the Fusion Emperor Road, and Half Emperor and Quasi Emperor will not be the end!"
Xiao Ye waved his hand over his Space Ring, and suddenly several books appeared from thin air.
These books contained Combat Techniques, Cultivation Techniques, and secret techniques, all martial arts secret manuals he had collected upon entering Central State.
Most of these martial arts secret manuals had been copied by the Wuji Sect and the Xiao Alliance, yet originals remained in his possession.
With these martial arts secret manuals, Xiao Ye walked forward, seeming like an ascetic, heading deep into his dominion within the continent.
He had sealed his Tao and Law, seeking to walk the martial arts path anew using ordinary martial arts secret manuals.
The Emperor World is vast and full of vitality, completely independent with its own sunrises and sunsets, all following the ultimate principles of Heaven and Earth.
Similarly, the continent within Xiao Ye’s dominion is expansive, filled with countless Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that could rapidly elevate martial artist cultivation and power, and dropping any of them in True Spirit Continent would stir bloodshed.
Yet Xiao Ye turned a blind eye to these Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, trekking deeply, using the sky as his quilt and the earth as his bed, each day breathing Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, cultivating with his ordinary body.
Although he is retracing the martial arts path, his insight and martial arts enlightenment remain intact, and the True Martial Physique grants him exceptional martial arts talent, so he is akin to a university student redoing elementary school exercises.
Though exceedingly easy, progressing swiftly and discovering numerous issues, nearly each day, Xiao Ye gains new insights, an experience he has never had before.
Very intriguing, hazy, evoking much that words cannot describe.
Xiao Ye’s heart grew calmer, even forgetting the existence of the True Spirit Continent, Wuji Sect, and Human Clan Four Emperors, indulging in a realm of self without external distractions.
Every once in a while, he would visit the coastline, battling with a conscious ocean using Slaughter Principle and Wind Law; upon encountering ferocious beasts in his dominion and being overwhelmed, he would also be chased to hide everywhere.
At the same time, he casually chose a Postnatal Cultivation Method, and within just four hours he advanced to the Innate Realm.
Then, he took another day to again reach the Xuanwu Realm.
Ten days later, he journeyed from Xuanwu to Void, achieving Void Martial.
Subsequently, after a full two years, he finally progressed from Void Martial to King Martial without relying on any Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, only by establishing a King Realm.
The King Martial Technique he chose was very ordinary, akin to street items on True Spirit Continent, and accordingly, the King Realm cultivated appeared mundane.
Even the Combat Techniques he selected were very ordinary.
Ordinary Cultivation Techniques, ordinary Combat Techniques...
Yet on this martial path, Xiao Ye tread each step with diligence; understanding an ordinary martial artist’s mental realm, his sharpness became reined in and his demeanor increasingly ordinary, no longer possessing the extraordinary flair of before.
After advancing to the King Martial Realm, he did not rush to improve his cultivation or return to the peak of martial arts.
Instead, he completely freed his mind, strolling around his dominion, as if integrating with the entirety of Heaven and Earth, able to hear the sound of water flowing, leaves falling, and even bare trees sprouting fresh buds in spring...
This state mirrored his experience years ago traveling from Wuji Sect to Fengyun Domain.
But previously, it lasted only a short while, whereas now, it endured for several years.
Rumble!
Under a mighty waterfall, the rushing flow cascaded downward, producing a tremendous roaring sound, with mist rising as if a silver dragon threading the heavens, overwhelmingly majestic.
Xiao Ye sat before the waterfall, cross-legged with closed eyes, his expression calm, no aura emanating, yet the splashing water droplets couldn’t touch his body, seemingly repelled by an invisible barrier.
"Beyond the Slaughter Principle and Wind Profoundness, the second kind of Profoundness is now Perfect!"
Suddenly, Xiao Ye opened his eyes, a slight smile playing on his lips.
